Psychological ownership and GenAI - Illusion, dilution, or loss

In the post just before this one, I described a co-authorship with Chat GPT-4o that majorly diminished my sense of  agency or 'psychological ownership' with respect to the product generated.  So stumbling upon Erik Hermann's  brief article in Trends in Cognitive Sciences was especially timely The link gives partial contents  and motivated readers can obtain a PDF of the entire article from me. Here is the abstract:

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) reshapes and challenges psychological ownership of created content. This article examines how GenAI disrupts original content creators’ and GenAI users’ sense of ownership and control and illustrates how both can perceive the illusion, dilution, and potential loss of control and ownership of content in the GenAI era.
